19．As a young man，Al was a skilled artist，a potter with a wife and two fine sons．One night，his older son developed a severe stomachache．Thinking it was only some common intestinal（腸的） disorder，neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously．But the boy died suddenly that night．
Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation，he always felt he was guilty．To make matters worse，his wife left him a short time later，leaving him alone with his sixyearold younger son．The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand，and he turned to alcohol for help．In time，Al became an alcoholic．
As the alcoholism progressed，Al began to lose everything he possessed-his land，house，etc．Finally Al died alone in a small bar．Hearing of Al's death，I thought，"What a totally wasted life!What a complete failure！"
As time went by，I began to revalue my earlier rough judgment．I knew Al's now adult son，Ernie．He is one of the kindest，most caring，and most loving men I have ever known．I saw the love between Ernie and his children，thinking that kindness and love had to come from somewhere．
I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father．One day，I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person．Ernie said quietly，"As a child until I left home at 18，Al came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，‘Love you，son．'．"
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure．He had not left any material possessions behind．But he had been a kind and loving father，and left behind his best love．
28．What directly made the author think of Al as a failure？A
A．His losing everything and his life．
B．His older son's death．
C．His strong addiction to alcohol．
D．His wife's divorcing him．
29．What can we infer from Al's son Ernie？B
A．His father's life was indeed wasted．
B．The love from his father made him what he was．
C．A great fortune must have been left to him．
D．He was not very kind but very loving．
30．What might be the best title of the article？A
A．Love you，son！
B．A failure father!
C．Parents'love!
D．A skilled artist!

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了Al失去了一切和他的生命，讓人覺得失敗，卻會(huì)每晚對(duì)兒子表達(dá)愛意，給了兒子圓滿的人生．

解答 28．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段：Hearing of Al's death，I thought，"What a totally wasted life!What a complete failure可知他失去了一切和他的生命直接讓作者認(rèn)為Al是一個(gè)失敗者；故選A．
29．B．推理判斷題，根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段：As a child until I left home at 18，Al came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，‘Love you，son可知他父親的愛使他知道他是什么樣的人；故選B．
30．A．推理判斷題．文章主要講了Al失去了一切和他的生命，讓人覺得失敗，卻會(huì)每晚對(duì)兒子表達(dá)愛意，給了兒子圓滿的人生；因此最佳標(biāo)題是愛你，兒子；故選A．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

When people need to make purchases，whether large-ticket items or small，they don't necessarily consider purchasing that item used．If the thought does end up crossing their（41）I，they may think that finding somewhere to purchase a used item is too much of a trouble，or that the item won't be in the best shape．Whatever the reason，they don't bother，and go straight for（42）Jnew things．What these people don't realize is that when it comes to certain items，there is no point paying full（43）A．For certain items you can find equal quality with second-hand，and for a small part of the cost．And with some online sites，finding those items couldn't be easier．Why pay more when you could be saving loads of money？

11．What is time？Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted，like money？Or is it something we have no control over，like the weather？Is time the same all over the world？
That's an easy question，you say．Wherever you go，a minute is 60seconds，an hour is 60minutes，a day is 24hours，and so forth．But in America，time is more than that．Americans see time as a valuable resource．Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression，"Time is money．"
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource，they try to conserve and manage it．People in the U．S．often attend seminars or read books on time management．It seems they all want to organize their time better．Professionals carry around pocket planners--some in electronic form--to keep track of appointments and deadlines．People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time．The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best："Do you love life？Then do not waste time，for that is the stuff life is made of．"
To Americans，punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time．Being more than 10minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation．People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay．Of course，the less formal the situation is，the less important it is to be exactly on time．At informal get-togethers，for example，people often arrive as much as 30minutes past the appointed time．
To outsiders，Americans seem tied to the clock．People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules．In these societies，people don't try to control time，but to experience it．Even Americans would admit that no one can master time．Time--like money--slips all too easily through our fingers．And time--like the weather--is very hard to predict．Nevertheless，time is one of life's most precious gifts．And unwrapping it is half the fun．

4．What's the main topic of this passage？B
A．What is time？
B．Time among Americans．
C．Make good use of time．
D．How to control time？
5．What's the meaning of the underlined word"conserve"？A
A．protect
B．develop
C．produce
D．a(chǎn)ssist
6．The sentence"Americans seem tied to the clock"in paragraph 5probably meansC．
A．Americans often carry a clock with them．
B．Americans can take control over time．
C．Americans often make full use of time．
D．Americans can not predict the time．
7．We can safely draw a conclusion from this passage thatD．
A．Americans have more time than others．
B．by using pocket planners，people can have more time．
C．for informal meeting，Americans often arrive 30minutes earlier．
D．Americans often attend seminars，because they want to use time better．
